ABOUT US:
Each group member made different contributions to our website. Clayton was part of a thinkquest team last year. He researched the process of running for and becoming president. Jon researched President Obama's plans for the military. Laurynn researched his plans for the economy. Brad and Jeremy were two new students in the class part way into the project, so they worked together to research education. Cody took a leadership role among the group and researched both immigration and the environment. He also helped the others organize their files and upload them to the website.
